So now I've got my course material to dive into over the next few weeks, not to mention my very own private, in-house EFR instructor, to help me along should I get that sinking feeling at any time whilst reading the book ;)

After my morning coffee yesterday I popped up to the loft and found yet another bag full of forgotten about frocks.

There are actually still bags up there that I haven't looked inside for yonks, bonkers!

Inside the bag that I brought down was this delightful crimplene creation from St Michael, I believe it's from the sixties...

Although I absolutely love its yummy raspberry colour and ditsy floral print, it is sadly just a little too large for me so it will be joining the cornucopia of fabulous frocks in my market stock, speaking of which...

The next market is on Saturday the 6th of April so a preview post is in the pipeline for that, probably just after Easter.

If you are thinking of coming along to peruse my goodies and have any special requests as to what you'd like me to bring on the day, please feel free to e-mail me with any suggestions or requests on frocktasia@yahoo.co.uk

I will of course also be telling you about my fabulous fellow sellers in a pre-market post cause they are BRILLIANT but not all pitches have been confirmed as yet, so that will be done after Easter too :)

Love the bright pink frock and the cloche hat, and how lovely it would be to keep finding long-forgotten frocks in attics - jealous! Betcha it's just like that thrifting shopping thrill. Wish I could go to one of your sales. :) xoxo

Love the victorian looking boots. The market sounds so fun-- I really wish I could do more stuff like that here, but my vintage clothes haven't done well in the past in the one market I participated in for while. Can't wait to hear about and see all the stuff you're bringing. You must have loads of things to forget about so many bags of clothes.Becky :)

The pink colours of your vintage floral dress are lovely. Someone will be very thrilled to acquire it I'm sure. Congratulations on booking as a regular at Dandy Lion and on taking that Emergency First Response Course. I loved the diving/sinking puns. It sounds like there may be some colourful good eggs around when Easter arrives.
